Stolen from my Yard today..  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 92/100. Rosekitty (4785)   ranked 898 out of 32,944 in life 4 years ago

I bought years ago a wrought Iron head board and thought it looked perfect for my morning glories to grow on, so i put it by the mailbox and every year they would decorate that area with pretty flowers...got home and noticed the sanitation men had come..i didn't put any trash out since i hardly have any..well its gone..can't prove they took it, but i'm so upset since I've had that their for 10 years and poof someone decides it might look good at their place or what?
So now i have for my poor flowers growing some V shaped wood thing for the flowers to grow over.
Wonder why anyone would do this and not feel guilty? Makes me want to tye down everything now.

people just don't care, my grandmother used to say that people would steal your false teeth if you took them out of your mouth in front of them.

Thankfully Winterose..my teeth are still in my mouth..LOL
Thanks for this!

Wow, I'm sorry this happened to you, but isn't it possible that there was a new trashman today and they didn't realize it wasn't trash? If there were no flowers growing on it yet, maybe they didn't realize that's what it was.

I obviously don't know how you had it set up and maybe there's no way someone WOULDN'T know it was a permanent fixture, just trying to look at it another way.

I'll bet it was really pretty, and again, I'm sorry this happened.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Rosekitty (4785)   ranked 898 out of 32,944 in life  4 years ago

Thats what i keep having going in my head but if you see my mailbox its inside a round barrel with a black iron bar from the barrel to the mailbox..dirt added and this wrought iron headboard was agaist the barrel behind the mailbox..they might have been new and just thought i had it there to get rid of, but again i would never have my trash behind a mailbox..its always on the other side...so i have to just get over this feeling of someone coming on my property and hope they didn't sell it for metal wages..


myLot reputation of 91/100. Ldyjarhead (5188)   ranked 643 out of 32,944 in life  4 years ago


Based on how you're describing it, I wouldn't think it was the junk man either, but who knows.

Yes, its sad to think that someone would just come take it like that.

Kitty that is terrible, people will steal anything these days even if it is tied down.
Maybe is wasn't the trashmen, because they would be used to it being there for your flowers.

My uncle had his birdbath stolen, so he bought a new.
With this one he dug a big hole, filled it with concrete and concreted the birdbath to it.
Didn't work, not only did the person take the birdbath, they took the entire concrete slab.
How's that for someone desperate for a birdbath, taking the concrete slab also.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Rosekitty (4785)   ranked 898 out of 32,944 in life  4 years ago

Wow Goodie..some people are just desperate for taking baths i guess..LOL..I know that was mean but to steal it even though its cemented in..that takes you know what..Yes I had bad dreams about it and could see who did it, but i don't know this person..weird..anyway i checked this morning first thing and my wooden thing is still there, but this might change when i get home from work..LOL...I'm going to make it uninviting and see if that helps!

Oh Rosekitty what a horrible thing to have happen. Maybe the trash men took it if at that moment in time nothing was growing up it, but difficult to prove or maybe they did take it as they liked it so much. Sorry for your loss. People do this unfortunately it is a sad fact of life. I am sure your flowers will look beautiful whatever they are growing up. Ellie :D


myLot reputation of 92/100. Rosekitty (4785)   ranked 898 out of 32,944 in life  4 years ago

Thanks Ellie..the first thing i did after having dreams about my missing flowerclimber, was check to see if the wood thing is still there when i woke..it is and i think to discourage them this time I'm going to make it look uninviting..LOL

I am so sorry rosekitty that this happened to you. Maybe the garbage men came and thought you had thrown it out. Why not call the city and find out if they took it?

you know so many people will steal stuff like that, and it may not have been the trash men, but with scrap metal prices going through the roof, I have to say it doesn't surprise me that it did get stolen.

I hope you find it, or find something suitable for your flower bed.
